Today, my boyfriend surprised me by showing up at my work and proposing to me. It was sweet until an angry customer bitched us out for "wasting her time." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me. FML
Today, I surprised my boyfriend with lunch at work. He surprised me too, when I caught him making out with one of his coworkers. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's work to surprise him. When I got there, I called him on his phone to tell him to turn around. I saw him look at his phone. His co-worker next to him asked who that was. He replied, "Just this fat chick I know." FML
Today, my co-worker handed me the phone and said it was my boyfriend calling, so I answered "Hello, Love!" It was my boss. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to visit me at work. With another girl. FML
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML
Today, I went to surprise my girlfriend, who was at work at Target, with flowers. I asked the employee at the entrance if she was there. When he asked who I was, his face lit up red and he started profusely apologizing, stating, “She told me you guys broke up.” before guiding me to her area. News to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

awe! what a great moment ruined by someone truly selfish. I'm so sorry you have to live on planet Earth. That poor bitter soul is so cruel. I'm bitter and lonely, but I'm still happy for you. love is the best. :-)

Congrats op to you and your fiancé. That lady was just a jealous bitch. Don't let her ruin your moment.

You're all idiots. Why is OP's boyfriend interrupting her during her WORK DAY? It's nice to hear he proposed, and if they don't see each other, I understand. But if someone is in a hurry, and an ILL TIMED proposal pops up in front of you, holding you up from where you should be... That is the logical reaction. OP's paid to help customers, not to make life time movies out of her life.

We're all idiots for remembering there are some more important things in life to observe than waiting on people. And of course she planned out the proposal in advance with her boyfriend to reenact a movie scene, just to inconvenience her customers. Heck, even if she had it would have been a nice break. Sounds like someone's bitter.

I understand what you mean, 84, but come on, how many proposals do you see in your lifetime? If I were in a hurry and saw a sudden proposal, at worst I would be a tad annoyed, but honestly I think I would just watch and clap. Why be so bitter? I wouldn't want someone to be mean to me if I were in that situation. I think those are the times where being just a little bit more considerate is enough to make someone's day, and really, how hard is that? :)

It depends on how much in a hurry you'd be that day. Not everybody has extra time to spare in-between meetings, appointments, needing to pick kids/relatives up, etc. Work is work. Sorry OP, work interfered into your personal life while you were at work... You stand in these lines forever and then on top of that, the cash register girl stops working and goes on to dilly dally with her boyfriend. At that point, you've been in that checkout line forever, you can't just go and stand in another line all over again, and it's just plain wrong.

How do you know he didn't try to pay for something and put the ring down too, or stand in line to place his order and say something cute like "oh, and will you add an extra scoop of marry me?" I highly doubt OP knew it was coming, so cut her a bit of slack. Yes, the boyfriend should have waited, but it's not OP's fault he didn't.

"it was sweet" so apparently she didn't take it too badly

Not exactly one of those romantic moments like in the movies where everybody goes awwh and claps

Well I'm not saying she should have said something and depending on where you work proposing might not be best idea.. I'm guessing you are in some retail environment and I can't think of one retail or food place that you work at that would be romantic. So fyl for your boyfriends proposal choice..

I'm sure she is just jealous. I'd say, "You jelly brah?"

Proposals in front of nonconsenting strangers are loathesome. It would hardly have been worse if you two had stripped down and had sex right there.

You're boyfriend is so lame. What a boring way to propose. Doesn't he realize that's the story you're going to have to tell every time someone asks you how he proposed? I hope the rest of your marriage isn't so dull.

What the hell is your problem? It's not up to you to decide how someone else should propose to their partner. If you can't just be happy for them about it, don't say anything at all.

******' A, man.

I don't care how he proposed to her and obviously he doesn't either. I'm just saying it's one of the most special moments in a woman's life and he didn't exactly think it through very well. And who are you to decide how I react to posts. If you don't like it, don't say anything at all. Oh wait..

It's a comments section for a reason. There's a reply button for a REASON. You'd say the same thing if the roles were reversed, so screw you.
